Audit policy compliance

You can add an audit that has a recurring schedule to the Compliance view. The Compliance view displays the result of the latest run of that audit. The audit can directly contain audit rules or it can inherit audit rules from the source snapshot or source snapshot specification. In the Compliance view, you should display the Audit column to confirm associated audit rules. See the following figure.

You should link your audits to audit polices for the audit rules. This is a common and recommended use case. This structure allows for several audits to be linked to the same audit policy. Each audit can include a different set of servers or multiple servers that have different recurring schedules. In the Compliance view, in the Audit Policy column, all compliance results for each audit linked to the policy are displayed.

If there is more than one audit with an overlapping set of servers, the Audit Policy column shows the status of the most recent result for each server, regardless of which audit ran last. To view the most recent audit result for a given operation, select an audit and then click Details, Run Audit, or Remediate in the Compliance view.

An audit policy can be hierarchical. That is, an audit policy can link to other audit policies.

Example:

Policy A links to Policy B. Policy B links to Policy C.

When an audit is created and linked to Policy A, the audit will run using a flattened list of compliance rules that belong to Policy A, Policy B, and Policy C.
If you add the Audit Policy column in the Compliance view for Policy A, the compliance status shows the result of the audit with all rules from Policy A, Policy B, and Policy C.
If there are no audits directly linked to Policy B or Policy C, there are no individual results available for these policies. If you add the Audit Policy column in the Compliance view for these policies, a dash (-) indicates that there are no results to display.

Note
Another difference between the Audit and Audit Policy columns in the Compliance view is that only audits with recurring schedules are available for display. However, any audit policy can be a column, just as it applies to software and patch policies.

The compliance categories (columns) that are selectable for the Compliance view are configurable.

The default setting includes Audit Policy, Software, Patch, and Configuration.

For new installations, the Audit category is not listed.
